Removing the distribution of Ice from Yahoo! LDA repository

Users need to download Ice from http://www.zeroc.com/download/Ice/3.4/Ice-3.4.2.tar.gz
and build it manually. We are considering adding some scripts and some config files to
make this task simpler. Till then you will have to build it following instructions from
their distribution. After installing Ice, you need to link/copy the respective head files
and libraries to LDA include & lib directories. Also Ice depends on NPTL. So make sure
that the lpthread & lrt libraries are compatible with Ice.

Our use of Ice only needs a very small portion of the entire distribution. The tar file
we had packaged reflected that. We will try to provide scripts that will reflect this so
you can download the Ice distribution and then point that to our script and it will take
care of installing the essential parts of Ice. I have left the third party sources that
Ice depends on intact so that the scripts can take advantage of them.
